4 steps to get 600 Gamma AI credits and export to PPTX and PDF

A practical guide to getting 600 AI credits at once, 400 base + 200 bonus, by signing up through the referral link (/go/gamma), and making the most of the free plan while accounting for the 10-card generation limit and export watermark.

How the 600 credits are awarded and the one-time caveat When you sign up through the referral path, the base 400 credits are supplemented by a +200-credit referral bonus, for a total of 600 AI credits to start (the cumulative referral bonus is capped at 2,000 credits). Free plan credits are a one-time initial grant and are not automatically replenished monthly.

Deduction and export watermark criteria Generating an 8 to 10-slide presentation typically deducts around 40 credits dynamically, allowing you to create about 12 to 15 draft decks. However, on the Free tier, the 'Made with Gamma' badge remains on exported PDF, PPTX, Google Slides, and PNG files, even if you have credits remaining.

1. Step 1: Visit the referral signup link (/go/gamma) and create a new account

   Visit the AIdeal recommended path (gamma.app/signup?r=hrog4ye1w0yn1q9 or /go/gamma) and create a new account. If you sign up normally without using the referral link, you will receive only the default 400 credits, so check immediately after signup that your wallet balance is 600 credits.

2. Step 2: Refine the outline (Outline) text first, then generate no more than 10 slides

   The free plan automatically generates up to 10 cards per prompt run, and credits are deducted in proportion to the selected AI image model tier and the number of cards. Editing the outline for each card before clicking the generate button can greatly reduce wasted credits on rewrites.

3. Step 3: Add cards manually and use partial AI editing instead of bulk rewriting

   For presentations that need 11 or more slides, create a 10-slide draft first, then manually add blank cards and use partial AI refinement only on essential slides. This will make the 600 credits last much longer than repeatedly regenerating the entire deck.

4. Step 4: Export as PPTX or PDF to suit your needs, and handle fonts and watermarks

   For internal meetings, assignments, or structural drafts, export as .pptx for free, then refine Korean line breaks and fonts in PowerPoint or Keynote. To officially remove the 'Made with Gamma' watermark for external proposals or client deliverables and use unlimited AI generation, you need to upgrade to Plus ($10/month, or $8/month with annual billing) or Pro ($20/month, or $15/month with annual billing).

Items to check before generating and exporting

1. Immediately after signing up, check that the credit balance at the bottom left shows 400 base + 200 bonus = 600 credits total
2. Given that the free 600 credits are a one-time allowance that is not refilled monthly, finalize the table of contents before running the main generation.
3. For documents submitted externally, check in advance whether the “Made with Gamma” badge at the bottom is permitted
